Clinical Guidelines for the Management of Anxiety: Management of Anxiety (Panic Disorder, with or without Agoraphobia, and Generalised Anxiety Disorder) in Adults in Primary, Secondary and Community Care [Internet]

Excerpt

The National Institute for Clinical Excellence has commissioned the National Collaborating Centre for Primary Care to develop a clinical guideline on the management of generalised anxiety disorder and panic disorder (with or without agoraphobia) in adults in primary and secondary care and in the community for use in the NHS in England and Wales. This follows referral of the topic by the Department of Health and Welsh Assembly Government. Post-traumatic stress disorder and obsessive–compulsive disorder are excluded from this scope, but will be the subject of another guideline being prepared by the National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health. The guideline will provide recommendations for good practice that are based on the best available evidence of clinical and cost effectiveness.
